Managed Transportation
Flexible managed transportation services designed to streamline and optimize the performance of your supply chain.
/ Our Process
The TA Managed Transportation system involves a 4 stage process. Understand, Design, Plan, and Execute.
Rapid Network Assessment
With no cost and no strings attached, TA Services managed services logistics will work to understand your business goals and logistics challenges by conducting a review of your operations and the freight spend data you have available. If clean data is hard to come by (and it often is, even for large companies) we can discuss “painless” options for collecting and organizing data that can help you optimize your transportation network.
Our Rapid Network Assessment will provide you with a framework and recommendations for prioritizing savings initiatives and process improvements. At that point, you can decide if we move forward in the Solution Development Process.
Solution Development and Value Engineering
In this stage, TA’s Managed Transportation team digs deep to identify, analyze, model, and quantify the value we can deliver. We report our knowledge based, data driven findings back to you in the form of a customized value proposition tailored to your business objectives and logistics management requirements.

People, Process & Technology
